Just like Goldizine zone. It's a modern world today. Every sphere of life is tried to be run on a particular technology. Let's see a telephone that has evolved into a mobile device and further into a Smartphone. Computer has evolved into a Laptop and laptop has been replaced by other devices like IPAD, Tablets.
Coal trains have been replaced by electric trains and metros. Books are replaced by Kindle, ebooks, grocery shops replaced by Malls, physical shopping replaced by virtual shopping on internet, Tandoor replaced by Microwave ovens, knife being replaced by choppers, etc.
Now look at how our bus conductor still conducts his daily business. He still moves from one seat to another checks with the passenger their destination, tells them the fare, takes the money from him/her and returns the difference if any. Once he has got the correct amount he opens his ticket box which has many colored tickets. He tries to pull out the required tickets with his sweaty and soiled hands. At times he licks his thumb to enable him to get the tickets out delivering us the required ticket. We get the ticket wet with bacteria from his thumb. How pathetic? Why have we still not used a technology which will remove this burden from the conductor.
It is suggested that there is a machine fixed near the driver's seat where the people can select the fare amount for which they want the ticket, put in the money and get the ticket out of that machine. The difference in amount would also be dispensed by the machine. The duty of the conductor would then be limited to checking the new passengers boarding and check the tickets.
